On Monday evening, the Golden Age Hospitality reps will appear before CB3's SLA committee.
As for the unnamed new concept for No. 86, there will be food service with various sandwiches (turkey club, BLT, croque monsieur, etc.) and cocktails, according to the sample menu on the questionnaire here. The configuration shows 21 tables for 42 guests (with plans to use the unenclosed roadway space from 5-10 p.m.) The proposed hours are daily from 5 p.m. to 4 a.m.
After a two-plus-year court battle over pandemic-related back rent payments, the Boiler Room announced last summer that it was leaving its home of 34 years ... ownership will be moving to 45 Second Ave. between Second Street and Third Street (previously home to the Moroccan specialty shop Timbuktu) later this year.
Monday's meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. Find the Zoom link here. This is a hybrid meeting, and there is limited seating available for the public — the first 15 people who show up at the Community Board 3 Office, 59 E. Fourth St. between Second Avenue and the Bowery.
"The proposed hours are daily from 5 p.m. to 4 a.m." Thank you Mayor Night Life /s
ReplyDeleteThe boiler room is already open till 4am. I live next door and walked by on New Year’s Eve morning and they were still serving at 6AM. But go off about nightlife.
DeleteHate that the boiler room is moving. Such an important, iconic and fun space, I hope their new home on second avenue will be just as good.
ReplyDeleteAawww. Another bar with outdoor space. Whatever happened with the over saturated with liquor licenses the EV that was declared by the state liquor board decades ago? The quality of life around here has deteriorated so much due to all the bar restaurants around here, both night and day. Aside from the obvious crowds, drunks and noise there are the constant trucks: deliveries nonstop, garbage trucks, grease trucks, it is never ending. Noise, truck traffic and so much more greasy soot and smoke from restaurant chimneys has really impacted the neighborhood. No concern for residents.
ReplyDeleteMove then?
DeleteThis neighborhood is not for us, the residents—-it exists now to serve the pockets of “hospitality” i.e. booze peddlers.
DeleteThe boiler room has been a serving outdoors since the pandemic and their crowd which loves to smoke cigs takes full advantage. Net unchanged.
DeleteMost bars are open until 5am and have been for a very, very long time. What does that have to do with the Mayor? Not that I have any love for him but the comment is mindless and reactionary.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of Le Dive, but at the same time, a bar has been at the Fourth St. address for thirty-four years! More concerning to me is that the Board approved the new license for a space that was NOT previously licensed on Second Avenue where the Tibetan place was and where the Boiler Room is moving to. Can't we protect retail space for actual retail?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 1/4/24 at 12:59 - most bars have been open until 5 A.M for a very, very long time? On what planet? Bars in NYC must be closed between 4 A.M. and 8 A.M. Monday through Saturday, and 4 A.M and 10 A.M Sunday,
ReplyDeleteIn addition Mayor Adams is called "The Nightlife Mayor" because he frequents all the hot spots (seemingly every night of the week) that you and I probably couldn't get into (or want to, me anyway).
And to Anonymous 1/4/24 at 1/11 - Move? The East Village has been my home for 35 years. Raised a family here. I'll take the good, the bad and the ugly - but the last two not without a good fight.
Telling people to move if they don't like it is the dumbest response possible and has been for all sixteen long years of this blog
ReplyDeleteYou could at least keep it classic and tell people to "go back to Ohio"
Of course they want to use the roadway space, Le Dive and the obnoxious people that go there have been allowed to freely shut down and pack out Canal Street and make tons and tons more cash off taxpayer space. They literally opened AFTER the pandemic and for some reason, without a vote, get to shut down the street and pack in these people for a street party everyday. Probably the types that then complain that it is taking away their livelihood if it gets taken away, as if any other businesses get to do it or as if it was not meant to be temporary. Unbelievable.
